Tallahassee, FL – April 2, 2026

The Florida Veterans Foundation will officially launch its new statewide initiative, the Heroes to Washington Grant, on April 4 in Tallahassee, marking the first of ten ceremonial presentations supporting Honor Flight hubs across Florida.

The initiative provides funding to local Honor Flight programs that enable veterans to travel to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice.

Through this campaign, the Foundation will present a series of $15,000 grants to Honor Flight hubs throughout the state, beginning with the Tallahassee-area hub. Each presentation will recognize the critical role these organizations play in honoring Florida’s veterans.

“This initiative is about more than funding, it’s about gratitude,” says Raymond Miller, Chief Operating Officer of the Florida Veterans Foundation. “The Heroes to Washington Grant reflects our commitment to ensuring that every veteran has the opportunity to be recognized for their service in a meaningful and lasting way.”

The campaign is being launched in partnership with the Honor Flight Network and participating regional hubs across Florida. Each stop in the statewide tour will be documented and shared publicly to highlight veteran stories and community impact.

The Heroes to Washington Grant will include ten stops across Florida, with each event featuring a ceremonial presentation, veteran engagement, and opportunities for community awareness and support.

Members of the public are encouraged to follow the campaign online and learn more about local Honor Flight programs and how to support veteran participation.
